Talesh Trek

Talesh Trek is a 34.8 kilometer lightly trafficked point-to-point trail located near Ardebil, Gilan, Iran that features a lake and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from May until October.

I did this hike in May 2003 accompanied by a local guide in three days. The contrasts between the high alpine scenery at the top and the lush rice terraces near the Caspian sea were amazing. People you meet on the way were, with no execption, amazingly friendly. This is just one of many hikes and treks you can do in Iran.
